One folder three ways

I have been having a play with my embossing folders. This first card was using  the tulip embossing folder with white pearl card then I stamped the verse in the centre using a See Dee stamp, I then embossed a second sheet and cut out some of the flowers and added them with sticky pads to give some depth. Not happy to leave it at that I stitched little pearl flowers and beads on the flowers. This card looks much prettier in real life.

 This second card I used the same folder but used a brilliance pearl ink pad and a brayer to ink up one side of the embossing folder, I added a stamped greeting and again stitched little pearls in the centre.

 This last card I inked up the opposite side of the embossing folder and used the debossed side so the flowers are edged in the lilac, again I added a greeting and stitched pearls on them.

I love this folder, I think it will be getting plenty of use, it's avaliable free delivery world wide here

Quilted handbag card

My friend did a class using this quilted paper style and I thought I could give it a try, it didn't turn out too bad but there are a few things I would do differently next time. I couldn't find any papers I liked so this is a patterned wrapping paper, I cut lots of squares out using my nestabilities small squares then stuck them on to paper and stitched them down using a zig zag stitch, I then cut the shape of the bag and stitched that on to a piece of card and added all the embelishments.

Flower card using my free paper

I used the paper I created to make this card, I used silver thread to stitch around the hexagons, then I layered a spellbinders die on top (can't remember the set it was from as I borrowed it!) followed by a nestie circle which was stamped in black with a kaiser friend stamp then I added a kaiser brad to the centre. I have made a little gift pouch to match will photograph that tomorrow.
